Like John Denver used to sing: "Hey, it's good to be back home again..."

Did I just date myself beyond belief with that old music quote??

Anyhow, the point is, we've just returned from a mini-road trip, where my wife and I drove out to Vancouver to see the Canucks beat the Calgary Flames, in overtime no less. Also partied up a bit with some friends, but more on that later, maybe in an official column....

I figured I would mention the trip now that we're back, unlike the week I posted updates from Dayton, essentially alerting anyone with a crowbar to the shopping opportunities available in our home, during our absence. Hey, I may be a slow learner, but I do eventually learn..

At any rate, we were amazed to see as many Calgary fans as we did in Canuckland. They were out in droves, but ultimately had to walk home under a cloud of disappointment (ooh, how dramatic eh?) after Kippy let in a goal during overtime. I was rooting for a shootout myself, would have been the first one I had ever seen live.

At any rate, I need to get some stuff done before the Sopranos, so I had better boogie.

That means "git at 'er". Did I just date myself again???

Chow for now!!
